“Treasure”

The Chocolate Grinder loves So Percussion. The Chocolate Grinder also loves Matmos. Here’s the first track off So Percussion and Matmos’ upcoming collaboration album, Treasure State, due July 8 digitally and July 13 via Cantaloupe. (The Chocolate Grinder loves Cantaloupe too, by the way.)

Import/Export: Suite for Global Junk [performed by Powerplant]

If you love the music that the Chocolate Grinder loves, then you too might love music composed of packaging materials like Glass Fanta bottles, plastic bags, oil drums, and wooden pallets. Check out excerpts of Import/Export: Suite for Global Junk, a multimedia piece by Gabriel Prokofiev, as performed by Powerplant. Naxos of America will release a CD/DVD set this month.

“Evil Guh”

Jookabox, led by David “Moose” Adamson, are currently on tour right now (TMT News), but you know what? We’re happy watching online music videos in the safety of our homes, thank you very much. “Evil Guh” is off Dead Zone Boys, released last year on Asthmatic Kitty, but if you don’t feel like going out, you should order it online. After all, it’s a cold, brutal world out there — war, terrorism, oil spills — so I don’t blame you one bit. I mean, sometimes I really wonder if life is even worth living. Sigh… Anyway, have a great weekend!!
